SAUDI PIPELINE OUTAGE THREATENS 4% OF GLOBAL OIL SUPPLY Saudi Arabia could lose up to 4 million barrels per day of exports — roughly 4% of global supply — if its critical East-West pipeline does not restart within days, Reuters reports. Saudi storage at Yanbu can sustain exports for only 5-7 days, according to sources. With repair estimates potentially stretching to 5-6 weeks, a prolonged outage risks deepening the global oil crunch and adding further pressure to inflation and bond yields.(*Walter Bloomberg)
